If you're looking for guitar lessons in Dublin, choosing the right guitar teacher can make all the difference. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced player, having a clear plan and expert guidance is the fastest way to improve.
I don't teach guitar, I transform Guitar Players. I provide structured, in person guitar lessons across Dublin designed to help you build real skills, stay consistent, and enjoy playing again.
You pick up the guitar… play the same things… get frustrated… and put it back down.
You tell yourself you’ll get better someday. But someday keeps getting pushed back.
Hi, I’m Ross. I’ve been teaching guitar lessons in Dublin for over 20 years, helping students of all levels go from feeling stuck to making real progress.
Alongside teaching, I’m also an author and a composer, creating my own modern neoclassical music at ModernNeoclassical.com
Most people who come to me have already tried something else: YouTube, apps, online lessons, group classes, even other teachers. And the pattern is always the same, too much noise, not enough direction, and progress that feels slow or frustrating.
What I do is different.
When you work with me, you’re getting a completely focused, tailored experience where everything is built around you. Your goals, your pace, your taste in music, your strengths and your weaknesses. All of it.
I don’t follow a generic syllabus. I build a clear, structured path that gets you from where you are now to where you actually want to be, and I guide you through it step by step.
Progress is important, but so is having a good experience while you learn.
A lot of students quit because the experience isn’t enjoyable. They feel lost, judged, or stuck. That doesn’t happen here.

My guitar lessons in Dublin are suitable for all levels: Beginners, Intermediate and Advance players. Every lesson is tailored to your level, goals and musical interest.
I keep things simple:
With the right guitar lessons in Dublin, things quickly start to fall into place:
If you follow the plan and don’t improve, you don’t pay for your guitar lessons.
Simple as that.€300 per month. That covers 4 weekly private guitar lessons.
All levels for very specific reasons: Complete beginners: Starting properly matters. I’ll give you a clear structure from day one so you don’t end up confused or picking up bad habits. Intermediate players: Most people get stuck because they repeat the same patterns or don't know what to do next. I’ll show you exactly what’s missing and how to move forward. Advanced & professionals: Technique, precision, timing, phrasing, even breathing. Whatever is holding you back from playing at a higher level. Small details make a big difference here.
I teach modern electric and acoustic guitar, and the focus is always on real world playing. We’ll work on your sound, your feel, your timing, and your overall playing, not locking you into one narrow style, but making you a well rounded, confident guitarist.
Always. I don’t teach groups. You get my full attention for the entire session.
People who aren’t willing to practice, cancel constantly, don’t take feedback well, avoid challenges or just want something casual.
No. Everything is in person only.
Lessons take place in my private home studio in Dublin

Yes. But we don’t just copy songs, we break them down so you understand what you’re doing.
Yes, but only what’s useful. Everything connects directly to your playing.
Your first lesson is on me. I assess where you’re at, point out any obvious issues, and set a clear direction.
It's never too early or too late to learn to play guitar. Kids from 10 and adults are more than welcome.

Yes, I email you a weekly practice material so you know exactly what to work on between lessons.
Yes. If all slots are filled, you can join the waiting list for the next available opening.
Progress depends on your commitment, but students typically see noticeable improvement within weeks, not months.
Yes. I help students build confidence, and stage readiness, whether you want to play for yourself or perform publicly.
I’m based in Dublin 1 (North Wall), and students come to me from across the city. That includes Dublin City Centre, IFSC, Docklands, Drumcondra, Clontarf, Fairview, Phibsborough, Glasnevin, Raheny, Artane, Beaumont, Santry, Swords, as well as the south side, Rathmines, Ranelagh, Ballsbridge, Donnybrook, Dundrum, Sandyford, Stillorgan, Blackrock, Booterstown, Mount Merrion, and Dún Laoghaire. If you’re based in Dublin and serious about improving, you’re a good fit.
To keep standards high, I keep my student list extremely small, and I only work with students who are genuinely committed to achieving real progress.
If that sounds like you, I'd love to help you get there.
